Tears of the One who doesn’t just tell us that everything will be OK in the end, but of the One who feels our pain as deeply as we do.You learn something new every day what did you learn today? His response is to offer His abiding presence in the form of the Holy Spirit until the day when God receives the glory He deserves.Īt the end of this life He will still be there with us, but we will be seated together beside the throne of the Father, scarcely able to remember those times when He knelt in the dirt beside us and wept.īut until that time, maybe sometimes what we need more than just another explanation, another cliché, or another promise of heaven. This is nothing compared to what awaits you.” Instead, His response is to walk through the pain with us. Yet His response to us in the pain of the human condition is not, “Just believe! It will all be over soon. Because He knows those things, He can make grand promises about the eternal glory that awaits all those who are His. He is the One who knew the glory before the pain.

He is the One who knew the resurrection before the crucifixion.

This is the God who knew the end before the beginning. And when we fall in the dirt before Him-so sure of theological facts, yet emotionally destroyed by the circumstances of this sinful world-He falls down and weeps with us. When we rejoice because all is well, His shouts of joy eclipse our own. When we weep at the death of a loved one, our Jesus weeps as well. We may rest assured that whatever situation we find ourselves in, God is emotionally involved there too. He is not an isolated God, but one intimately acquainted with the pain of the human condition.

The Christ we follow knows the full range of human experience.

He is not one who simply barks orders onto the battlefield of life, telling us to go here or there, do this or that. And it sort of makes you ask what the bigger miracle of this passage is-is it a Jesus who can raise the dead, or a Jesus who weeps alongside His friends even though He knows He’s going to do so? But before He did so, He cried.Ĭan you fathom that? The God of the universe cried. Jesus would raise the very dead Lazarus from the grace. He was there to perform a miracle - a miracle which would be, in many ways, the final nail in His own coffin, as the plans for His death took on greater urgency afterward. Lazarus - this friend of Jesus - was gone. So when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was (John 11:5-6).īy the time Jesus did arrive in Bethany, Lazarus had been dead for four days, a long enough time to remove any hope from the situation. Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. Jesus, however, had a surprising reaction: When Lazarus became gravely ill, the sisters sent word to Jesus. Jesus was dear friends with a family in Bethany consisting of two sisters and one brother: Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The backstory of those two words is one of pain and tragedy.

And yet there is a boatload of hope packed inside of them. It’s the shortest verse in the entire Bible.
